Well Blue Jays fans the future has arrived, According to the Buffalo Bisons Twitter account the Toronto Blue Jays are bringing Marcus Stroman the Toronto Blue Jays 2nd ranked prospect up the big leagues.

The Blue Jays have been experiencing bullpen meltdowns recently and with Brandon Morrow being placed on the DL another arm is desperately needed. It has not been determined if Stroman was called up to start or pitch out of the bullpen, but why else bring Stroman up if not to start. Take a look at his stats over 5 Triple-A starts.

Update: According Gregor Chisholm, Stroman will be used out of the bullpen for the immediate future but suggests that it could be short lived with J.A. Happ and Dustin McGowan on a short leash.
